[Bug 539267] [NEW] [Lucid] Empathy notifications don't seem to work

[Jeff Lane]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

Trying out Empathy in Lucid.  In Preferences/Notifications, I have the
following enabled:

Enable Bubble Notifications
Disable Notifications when away or busy
Enable Notification when the chat is not focused

I then had someone send me a message in four different cases:

1: When no chat is open, but contact list is focused: The only indication I had that a message was incoming was that the icon next to the contact name flashed
2: When chat is open but not focused: I saw the new message appear in the chat, however, the chat window did not jump forward, nor did any other indication appear that a new message had arrived.
3: When no chat was open and contact list was minimized:  No indication at all that a message had arrived
4:  When no chat was open and the contact list was closed: contact said she did not have permission to chat with me.

All attempts were made via Facebook chat in this case.

I was under the impression that Bubble notification would pop up a
bubble on screen with the contact name and message, yet no bubbles
popped up at all.

I also thought that the messaging icon in Indicator Applet would flash
or otherwise alert me to an incomming message, yet Indicator Applet also
did nothing.
